Hummingbird Moth and bonus photos

Do you see the blurry russet and gold creature on the Siberian iris? That's a hummingbird moth, a fast flying moth easily mistaken for a hummingbird.
Here is it again on the iris. Yep, you gotta blow it up to see it. My phone takes good photos but not that good. 
Bonus: Bearded iris
Bonus: Peony. I'm so pleased. They took two years to bloom, even though I bought the two plants from a reputable garden center.
Bonus: The long view of the peonies with perennial geraniums
The juneberries are forming, and an early coreopsis is blooming. You're welcome to sit a while and watch the bees in the clover.
